Yes, that's the WJH that I'm after. Have tried different spellings, searched Immigrant listings, Censuses, Death/Burials. Many good friends on the list have also helped to no avail. Father was William Hellyer (1829-1885) and Anne Fancy (1834-1886) and I know where they are. So that's all I want for Christmas is to find Wm. James Hellyer (d.c. 1891)...
